Key outcomes |
Specific learning intentions |
|---|---|
| Scientific investigation requires accurate experimenting, observing, recording and analysing. | Solve a mystery by using scientific skills to interpret information. |
| Testing can be used to draw accurate scientific conclusions. | Perform tests using kitchen chemicals to show if their hypothesis is correct. |
| In Science all ideas matter and scientists often work together to help each other. | Collaborate to plan and carry out investigations. Respect others' ideas. |
| A chemical reaction occurs when at least two substances are mixed together to create something different. | Predict, observe, describe and record changes that they see occurring in chemical reactions when using a number of different scientific tests. |
| Lab equipment and chemicals need to be handled correctly and safely. | Use common science lab equipment and kitchen chemicals to carry out purposeful experimentation. |
| The ways that materials are used are dependent on their properties. |
Describe the uses of common household powders by observing how they react with other substances. |
